Hardback. [Author], [Publisher]. Author: G. Buckler Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 576 Anna Comnena (1083-1148) was a princess of the Comneni dynasty, the eldest daughter of the Byzantine emperor Alexius I, and the first woman historian. After her father's death Anna tried unsuccessfully to take the imperial throne of her brother, John II for her husband, Nikephorus. After the death of Nikephorus in 1137, she retired to a monastery where she wrote her celebrated biography of her father, the Alexias. Anna described herself as "not unversed in letters, not unpractised in rhetoric. having well mastered the rule of Aristotle and the Dialogues of Plato, and having furnished my mind with the quadrivium of sciences" and her great work is not just first-rate history, but the only Greek contemporary account of the court of Alexius and of the First Crusade. This book, first published in 1929 (long before any English translation of the Alexias had appeared), remains the only full length study of Anna Comnena, as a woman, as a historian and as a writer.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Anna Comnena, a Study' is an exhaustive and pioneering examination of one of the most significant figures in Byzantine history and medieval literature. This scholarly work provides a comprehensive analysis of Anna Comnena, the daughter of Emperor Alexius I Comnenus and widely considered the first major female historian in the Western tradition. The study focuses primarily on the Alexiad, Comnena's monumental account of her father's reign, exploring its literary style, historical reliability, and the intricate political motivations behind its composition.The text meticulously reconstructs the life of the Byzantine princess, from her high-status education in Constantinople to her eventual retirement in a monastery where she composed her history. The book offers deep insights into the Byzantine court, the events of the First Crusade, and the tensions between the Eastern Empire and the Latin West. By examining Anna's character, her classical learning, and her unique perspective as a royal insider, this volume serves as an essential resource for historians and students of the Middle Ages. It remains a definitive reference for those seeking to understand the intersection of power, gender, and historiography in the twelfth century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
